Your body’s organs can be accessed from the feet, hands and face. More Illustrations HERE

Reflexology Chart of Feet Hands and Face

Reflexology is the application of appropriate pressure to specific points and areas on the feet, hands, or ears. It is a highly effective treatment for health issues.

In reflexology theory, points and areas on the feet, hands, and ears correspond to specific organs, bones and body systems. Practitioners access these points on the feet and hands (bottom, sides, and top) and the ear (both inside as far as the finger can reach and outside) to affect organs and systems throughout the entire body.

Reflexology

Reflexologists believe that these areas and reflex points correspond to different body organs and systems, and that pressing them has a beneficial effect on the organs and person’s general health. For example, reflexology holds that a specific spot in the arch of the foot corresponds to the bladder point. When a reflexology practitioner uses thumbs or fingers to apply appropriate pressure to this area, it affects bladder functioning.

Although reflexology is not used to diagnose or cure health disorders, millions of people around the world use it to complement other treatments when addressing conditions like anxiety, asthma, cancer treatment, cardiovascular issues,diabetes, headaches, kidney function, PMS, and sinusitis.

Reflexology is growing increasingly popular across Europe and Asia as both a complement to other treatments and as a preventive measure. One example is Denmark, where various municipalities and companies have employed reflexologists since the early ’90s.

According to several studies, this practice in Denmark has resulted in reduced sick leave and absenteeism (and significant economic savings for the employers). Employees have consistently reported complete or partial improvement in conditions where they sought reflexologists’ help and even relief for additional problems related to stress. In one municipal district, almost one-third of the employees reported greater satisfaction with their jobs after completing six sessions with a reflexologist.

Where are the reflexology points and areas?

To represent how the body systems correspond to one another, reflexologists use reflexology “maps.” A good example of a reflexology map exists for the feet. Each foot represents a vertical half of the body:

The left foot corresponds to the left side of the body and all organs, valves, etc. found there.

The right foot corresponds to the right side of the body and all organs found there. For example, the liver is on the right side of the body, and therefore the corresponding reflex area is on the right foot.

Whatever the approach, the reflexologist attempts to release congestion or stress in the nervous system and balance the body’s energy.

How does reflexology relate to other therapies?

Acupuncture and Acupressure: Reflexology is similar to acupuncture and acupressure in that it works with the body’s vital energy through the stimulation of points on the body. However, acupuncture/acupressure points do not always coincide with the reflex points used in reflexology.

Reflexology and acupressure are both “reflex” therapies in that they work with points on one part of the body to affect other parts of the body. While reflexology uses reflexes that are in an orderly arrangement resembling a shape of the human body on the feet, hands, and outer ears, acupressure uses over 800 reflex points that are found along long thin energy lines called meridians that run the length of the entire body.

Feng Shui October

Pay Attention Be Alert

The month of the Yang Metal Dog will be challenging. October is the strongest month of conflict with the Water Dragon in 2012.

Communication can be slower and people who are unethical will try to take control. Its important to use integrity and honor this month and follow you highest good.

If you have a Dog or Dragon in your BaZi birth chart or Luck Cycle, this month could have you in a frustrated dilemma. Stay calm and be patient in sorting things out by talking things through with close advisors. To find out if you have a dragon or dog in your chart, click here.

For those with a Dragon in your birth chart, brace yourself for a rough month as the energies are fierce and unforgiving. Stressing about it will only add to the frustration. Consider a note of caution and postpone major projects and activities until the month passes. Otherwise your endeavors will suffer from difficulties and even failure.

For Dogs, this is a month to make your health a priority. Avoid any high risk sports or activities as the accident rate is prominent this month. It is an extremely dangerous month to be taking extreme risks.

Stay out of the Southeast and the Northwest if you can. If you have an entry door in these locations, use another door if it is available to you.
